These days getting Boo to eat anything that isn't hotdogs or mac'n'cheese is basically a miracle. He's pretty resistant to eat anything vegetable related…so I trick him. I hide veggies in everything. Is it just us? I mean, I feel like I hear other people saying that their kid will eat anything… I want to slap them. I have worried myself sick in the past thinking that my child will end up unhealthy, but the fact is feeding them a balanced diet is possible. Here are my top tricks for sneaking in nutrients into your toddlers otherwise crap diet:

Replace lasagna noodles with zucchini ribbons, or make "pasta" with this handy little tool. My kiddo will eat anything with a pasta sauce on it, so this is always a great options for replacing gluten and carb loaded foods with a veggie.
Add frozen spinach to meatballs.
Reduce ground beef, chicken or turkey portions and add ground mushroom. This is a great boost of vitamins and minerals.
Try adding a bit of pureed pumpkin or butternut squash to tomato sauces.
Add steamed and pureed cauliflower to cheese sauces. This can lighten your alfredo and mac'n'cheese considerably.
Always add spinach or baby kale to your smoothies.
This Airfryer is amazing. We make a ton or sweet potato fries, zucchini fries, tater tots, etc. with little to no oil.
If you have a juicer making carrot juice or beet juice to add to fruit juices and freezing into popsicles makes kiddos happy and cools them off.
Add whipped avocado to puddings and brownie mix.
When in doubt look for store bought items that add veg to the old standbys (just be ware of added preservatives, dyes and sugars!!)
